THE VERY LATEST FAD.

Photographs of Pretty Hands to Take tho
Place of Ordinary Pictures.
Women with pretty hands and wrists
have, according to the New York World,
found new way of preserving their charms
for the delight of coming generations. They
60 to the photographer and have their
hands photographed. Some New York pho
tographers are beginning to makes special
ty of reproducing handsome hands.
It is hard to say where the idea came
from. In all probability it is modification
of the custom that the English woman has
got into of having her feet and ankles re-
produced in marble. The American woman
has not reached the marble fashion yet and
it is hoped she never will.
It is quite natural that young woman
with handsome hands should wish to pre-
serve semblance of their charm by means
of the photographers art, for bands and
wrists, like cheeks and lips, lose their
beauty as the years go by. In time wrists
become too plump and wrinkles gather
about joints and muckles. The skin be-
comes dry and brown and the palm loses its
delicate tinge of new-blown rose. There
are few things more handsome than a
young and perfect hand.
danuS are Photographed on glass mega
tives in the same manner as ordinary pict-
ures are made. The hand, wrist and fore
arm are placed against dark background
in strong light in front of the camera.
The ordinary exposure of plate is then
made. Black velvet makes an excellent
background. All the beautiful curves and
dimples of the hand are clearly shown. The
wrinkles, however, are left out
sit is a very pretty CUSTOM" said pho
tographer who has some pictures of pretty
hands displayed in his showcase. "Why
shouldn't a young lady have picture of her
hand as well as her face? A picture of that
kind is nice thing for young lady to have
to send to her female friends and her near
relatives. Sometimes these pictures are
sent elsewhere. A young lady came in here
a short time ago in q great hurry for pict-
ure of her hand. She wanted it for par
tlcular day for particular purpose. We
dropped a lot of work and pushed that pict-
ure through with a rush. I learned after.
wards that she sent that picture Of her
hand in reply to q proposal of marriage
What is still better, her heart went with it. ~

drst and the best on top. When the lugger
comes up to town the captain barters Of his
load to the dealers as they give their orders,
and so 1t often happens that the first served
receives q much better quality Of oysters
tot the same lot than those who come
after. 3. ~ 4
When the luggers come up to the city TO-
make their landing the captain sells out his
cargo to the dealers that are regular Gus
toners Or to others whose orders he can
I'LL. This ends his connection with his
cargo. He has nothing to do with the dis
charging Of the oysters. This is attended
TO by the buyer, who has to pay fifteen cents
Tor every two baskets or ten cents for one
basket to have them carried ashore. This
work IS done exclusively by an organized
BODY OF men, designated as the benevolent
Association OF Oyster-Dischargers." They
nave exclusive control OF the discharging Of
oysters, and, If overcrowded, employ their
own help. The oysters are shoveled into q
basket, which is piled heaping full Then
man in a blouse or an open flannel shirt and
wearing peaked-shape felt hat, hoists the
basket upon his right. shoulder, grips it
firmly with both hands, and marches up the
gang-plank and over the wooden walk
leading to the levee. The load is heavy
one and requires muscle to handle it. On
reaching his destination the carrier dumps
out his basket Of oysters and returns for
moro.
Oysters to be shipped are dumped into
barrels that are ready on the wharf. When
basket has been dumped into barrel the
barrel is well-shaken and theoysters leveled
BY hand. The same process is gone through
with until the barrel is full, when the top
shells are made to lie even. Then the cooper
drives down the hoops and secures the head,
when the consignments are ready for ship
ment, either by rail or ship.
The city dealers generally have their own
wagons, which they either drive themselves
or send down to the wharf to get their
oysters. The oysters are thrown into the
wagon by the man with the basket, who
sometimes stops to have conflab with the
driver, who bends over his sideboards to
whisper his sayings and opinions Of the
subject into the ear Of his listener.
These men are invariably steady workers,
but move along in quiet easy fashion that
nothing disturbs, and, unlike baseball
player, they never get ratified.
The oyster trade is yearly on the increase.
1t now supports in the handling alone be-
tween five thousand and six thousand men,
besides the army of retail dealers, shippers
and restaurants that dish up the tempting
morsel in styles known to the culinary art
Some three hundred luggers are engaged
in the business, making regular trips to
the beds, the trips occupying from three to
fifteen days, according to circumstances.
New Orleans is said to be the best oyster
market in the world, and is now supplying
the Western and Northern cities, even in
Guiding Baltimore.

MORE WORDS OF PRAISE.
Rheumatism a Blood Disease entirely cured
ROCHESTER,, April /, 1856.
To the Pardee Medicine Co.,


To the Pardee Medicine Co.,
; GENTs:-Allow me to say few words
in praise of DR.. Pardee's Rheumatic
Remedy; and if what I have to say will
induce others who are afflicted with neu-
ralgia or rheumatism to use it, shall feel
that have been the means of doing some
little good to MY fellow men. December
q, 1885, while at work in the shop, was
taken suddenly with sharp, piercing pains
and was compelled to leave the shop.
The next morning I was unable to rise,
and T grew worse daily although I was
under the best medical treatment. But
obtained no relief until I began using
DR.. Pardee's Remedy, which did March
18th, and after using it three days, could
walk about the house. I continued to
use it and improved rapidly every day.
I am now at work and entirely free from
pain, and have gained five pounds in
weight, but I shall continue the remedy
until feel sure the poison is out of my
blood, for am certain that rheumatism
is blood disease. You are at liberty to
use my name or refer anyone to me, for
shall be only too glad to recommend it to
anyone who is suffering as was. I know
it will cure any case of rheumatism, if
used as directed.
I am, verv truly yours,
GEORGE DOANE.
